Drew Cover. (W) Brian Holguin (A) David Yardin The Magic of Aria Returns! The next chapter in the award-winning, unforgettable comic book series ARIA begins this March with the release of Aria: The Soul Market. The world of Kildare, expatriate princess of Faerie and star of Aria, gets turned upside down when Goodfellow, the deadly, mischievous sprite immortalized in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, comes to New York. Convinced that Goodfellow's intentions are considerably less than pure, Kildare sifts through his trail of riddles and lies, trying to figure out just what is he is up to. Her search leads to an underground soul market, where the immortal spirits of humans are bought, sold and traded -- and to, the memory of Kildare's long forgotten love. Meanwhile, Kildare's friend Ondine becomes obsessed with her own lack of a soul and becomes determined to gain one at any cost. Written by Brian Holguin with art by stunningly talented newcomer David Yardin. FC, 32pg Cover price $2.95.
